[Transcribers note. I have just received a phone report of
a NORTHERN WHEATEAR seen this evening, Oct. 6, at Wildwood
NJ. From the Parkway take exit 6; at the new bridge, take a
jughandle turn and go 1/4 mile to Al's Restaurant & boat
rental. The bird was there, on the pilings, at sunset.]

Please call President Clinton at the White House comment
line, weekdays 9-5, (202) 456-1111 and ask him to veto the
interior appropriations bill which cuts funding for habitat
and cuts 38% of the Endangered Species budget. Or fax him
at (202) 456-2883 or send him email at
president@whitehouse.gov; thanks for your help.

Second announcement later; now the birds.

A SAY'S PHOEBE was briefly seen and photographed Oct. 1 at
Higbee Beach, Cape May, not found again the same afternoon
or after.

At Brigantine NWR Sept. 30 were CURLEW SANDPIPER, 4 BAIRD'S
SANDPIPERS, and a HUDSONIAN GODWIT. Another Hudsonian was
at Cape May Point State Park, a fly-by on Oct. 1, as were 2
LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS. But the best godwit report was a
probable state high, 25 MARBLED GODWITS, at the town [NOT
the refuge] of Brigantine, best seen from the Harrah's
Casino parking garage in Atlantic City. Pay $2 to enter;
from the top of the first ramp, scope off the northeast
corner under the bridge. The MARBLED GODWITS have been
there a while.
